I sold my SD-60 but I did it in order to finance a BT-60 so I never regretted it although later I acquired a SD-50MT SBT so I guess I wasn't altogether through with the SDs...I just sold another Larrivee, again to finance another guitar (also a Larrivee). Too soon to tell yet, but I hope that I do not regret it. This one just sold will be a lot harder to replace, and what a sweet guitar.

I've owned only one Larrivee, an L-01. I'll never sell it because 1) I bought it for a very inexpensive price 2) it's my favorite "everyday" guitar 3) I've learned lessons from selling other guitars that I later regretted. In general I'm trying to pare down my guitar collection to those few that I really "need."

I have not sold any Larrivees and do not plan to. They are too good! Resist bouts of gas and just keep your Larrivees. My JCL continues to amaze me. I played lots of $5000-10,000 guitars at the Healdsburg Festival in August. Of course they were very nice, but the JCL is an incredible instrument. And for dreadnoughts, they don't get much better than my D10.

OM10koa,L09Koa,L09/12Koa,C05,CS09,LS10,CS05,LS05,OM03/12,OM03BW and a Gibson Vintage AJ.

Now those were STUPID,STUPID,STUPID sales......

Not sure what I am missing here BUT I really don't understand how anyone could resell their Larrivee.

OBE I have read many of your posts and all the time seeing you were effectively replacing the Lari with a Martin I was shaking my head especially in that part of the world where the Larri's are so hard to come by. Hope you will be happy with it though I can't see it. Well have :bgrin:

RegretsBack in the early 80's I got two L72s. A Classical and one with a Florentine cutaway. I'll never forgive myself for letting those go, in the late 80s. I wasn't playing them at the time and I traded them to get some nice jazz boxes. I got a lot of mileage out of jazz guitars but I sure wish I had been able to hang onto those L72s.

No RegretsIn the mid 90s I had a really nice L10 Cutaway (today I guess that would be a C10). That one went to a really good musical buddy, and I can play it anytime I want.

I'm with you on having sold my Lari OM-03RE. Great guitar and for what I paid about 4 yrs ago, vs what they sell for now new, I REALLY regret selling it. Should have just packed that bad boy away and pull it out as needed.

I guess some of that selling pressure was the lady of the house yelling about WHY DO YOU NEED ANOTHER GUITAR? I think at that time I was posturing for the Lari 000-60 that "had to have". Oh, how we know those unfortunate words. So, we pick and choose the appropriate children to be dismissed...a sad time for sure, but until I win the lotto and have a lot more $$$ for guitars, just have to work within the system and budget...bet you can relate???

I keep thinking about selling my OM-03R due to a shoulder issue, but I believe I'll live to regret it since having the shoulder surgery is still under consideration. I'd hate to get a rid of a guitar that sounds great, scale down in body size, and then fix the playability issue surgically and be in the market again. So I just play it less often than otherwise and am biding my time.

Maybe you can fix your regret by buying used again? Don'tcha think you could get one for what you sold it for? Sometimes that is psychologically hard to do, though.

Tom Rush could write a song and call it "No Regrets"... Oh, he already did.

A long time ago I sold a maple Guild that I often think about. Super guitar but I was playing only classical at the time and it was 'surplus'. And had I kept it I might not have found out about Larris (and Collings and Huss and Dalton). If I sold any of my current herd I may have serious regrets so "you gotta know when to hold 'em".

Oh yeah........I sold a D03r and regreted it ,thought I wanted a Matin instead, I was fortunate enough to get another and sell the Martin.The Martin was glossy and pretty but just wasnt the Larrivee.Dave

I think that I'll ned to buy another one at some point. Larris are amazing!

This thread hits home with me. The first guitar that I bought when I started playing again in 2005 was an OM-03R and the latest guitar that I have been Gassing for is a Gibson AJ so I have been at practically the same ends of the spectrum as you. I have probably had 20 guitars in that time in pursuit of the holy grail and had I just kept that sweet little OM-03R I probably would have been a lot happier and a much better player. If I put the time into practicing/playing that I do in looking for guitars, I'd be on tour with Clapton.
